It’s been a tough few months for Whitney, who in the space of weeks was involved in a horror bus crash, lost her unborn child and said goodbye to her husband Lee Carter – who left Albert Square after struggling to cope with his depression.

But now her slow-burning romance with Lee’s father, Mick Carter, is set to take centre stage in her storyline.

Whitney previously kissed Mick (Danny Dyer) while recovering in hospital in the crash.
